Leinster Preseason 19-20

[riocard911]

One of our forwards hit a serious line for the third try. Right before Bent. Think it was Baird. Lovely stuff and HOS did well too.

That was Peter Dooley - and man was he truckin'!!!

No I'm talking before Bent's carry. Dooley dotted it down.

[mildlyinterested]

Josh Murphy started at 5, not Ryan Baird.

And he took that line.

Ciarán Frawley picked up an ankle ligament injury in the win against Northampton Saints and had a procedure this week. He will be out of action for six to eight weeks.

Barry Daly picked up a knee ligament and cartilage injury during training. He had a procedure this week and will be out of action for up to five months.

Barry Daly seems to have no luck with injuries.

Oh for f%~k sake, poor old Barry Daly.

[LeRouxIsPHat]

Salanoa seems to be missing from that squad list above, strange.

[LeRouxIsPHat]

Gutted for Daly, think himself and Frawley both got injured at the start of last season too didn't they? That really screwed Frawley's season up and it'll be hard for him to get the game time he needs now unless there are injuries.

Yep, Frawley was injured in pre-season and Daly was crocked after about 10 minutes in the first game against Cardiff.

[LeRouxIsPHat]

With Frawley and Daly both being options at fullback I think it's high time that Isa stopped messing about and announced his return.

Will be pretty interesting to see who we play at 15 in the Treviso game now.

Possibly between Kelleher and JOB?

While I'm all for Harry getting a lot of senior game time, would Leinster be leaning more towards keeping him for Celtic Cup duty for a few weeks and have JOB as our backup 10?

Nah, Harry will be on the bench at 10 IMO.

He is too good as is for celtic cup.

Say Johnny or Joey drop this weekend against Scotland and Ross is straight on the plane out to Japan. What is our 10 situation looking like for the next 6-8 weeks?

The only fit 10 is Harry with Jimmy providing cover. Who is next cab off the rank?

[wixfjord]

COB would be an option there also.

[mildlyinterested]

COB would be an option there also.

hasn't played 10 since he was u18.

So he really isn't.
